Take a stroll down memory lane this month with the friendly folks at Grand Court Lubbock.

Share stories and memories this Wednesday, Sept. 19, during a special “Antique Road Show” at Grand Court. Simply bring your favorite antique, knickknack or keepsake to share and learn about its worth! This event is scheduled for 2 to 5 p.m.

Eddie Maddox, owner of Access to the Past, and Pam DeBellis, owner of As Time Goes By Antique Mall, will be on hand to provide complimentary evaluations. Due to the popularity of this event, limit two items per guest, please.

And while you’re there, take a few moments to look around and discover why Grand Court Lubbock is such an exceptional place to live.

Sure to be there at the event are M.J. and Rubilee Craig, who have been residents of Grand Court Lubbock for the past four years.

Married for 32 years, M.J. and Rubilee lived in Brownfield. M.J. and his brother owned and operated Craig Motor Company, the family auto dealership which featured Jeep and Chrysler, and Rubilee worked at First National Bank. Upon selling the dealership and retiring, the couple hit the road in their travel trailer.

After several years of traveling and a number of years living in South Texas, the Craigs knew it was time to come home to West Texas. They settled at Grand Court Lubbock and find it much to their liking.

“We’ve felt right at home here from the beginning,” says Rubilee, who now serves as a community ambassador and is President of the Resident Council. “The people are so friendly. We’re quite happy here.”

In their lovely and spacious apartment, the couple have a number of special keepsakes and tokens of their travels, including a stained glass window they made together and that was part of their motorhome. M.J. also proudly shares mementoes from his time as a pilot in the U.S. Air Force, serving in Europe during World War II.

Making the decision to downsize and enjoy retirement was an easy one, remembers Rubilee, who adds “I own my things – they don’t own me!”
